From the back angle it looked like he jumped on the 2-point side of the line.  In the side angle it looked like his foot touched before the ball was released.  Either way, it's a pure judgment call.  Maybe that player was moaning and groaning over the referee calls and human nature kicked in.  I don't have a problem with the call.  Something like that the refs are not going to get it perfect.   Every basketball game I've ever been apart of in any way the losing team thinks the referees made bad calls.  Every single game.

This is the best sour grape comments on a refereeing I've ever seen:

[INDENT]UNC-Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach say, without a trace of his trademark self-deprecating humor or sarcasm, “Syracuse is better than Asheville. [B]Tonight, we were better than Syracuse[/B].”

Or even to hear Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim answer a question, directed toward his players, about Biedenbach’s remark by saying, “[B]That’s why they make scoreboards.[/B]"

JB's comments to Biedenbach may be up there with the greatest things JB has ever said post-game interview.  God that's funny!
